Surviving F1 with Kids!

Abu Dhabi will soon be transformed by the hum and excitement of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Whether you love it or hate it, there will simply be no escaping F1-fever as it takes over the capital from Thursday November 23 until Sunday November 26. If you’re looking for things to do in Abu Dhabi with the kids over the action-packed F1 weekend, then we’ve got you covered, from being in amongst the action to relaxing sunset brunches.

Hickory’s at Yas Links Golf Club is the perfect spot for families who want to be close to the action but in a beautifully relaxed environment. Just across the road from Yas Marina Circuit, Hickory’s outdoor terrace boasts stunning views of the championship golf course and Arabian Gulf. Enjoy a glass of something chilled watching the sun set over the mangroves, whilst the children play on the popular bouncy castle and grassy lawn.

From Thursday November 23 until Sunday November 26, families can enjoy brunch in Hickory’s from only AED150 per adult.

12pm until 4pm, and again from 6pm until 10pm

If you’re lucky enough to have bagged your tickets already, then there is no better place to enjoy a more casual F1 affair than on Abu Dhabi Hill. Located in the centre of the circuit, the whole family can take in the thrill of the F1 with a picnic and plenty of space for the children to run around.

Abu Dhabi Hill tickets always sell out very quickly, but you can still pick up tickets for other areas of the circuit. Simply visit https://www.yasmarinacircuit.com/en/formula-1/
